Kindly
refer to the NJCA letter dated 10th December 2015 conveying you the
decision of the National Joint Council of Action to go on indefinite strike
in pursuance of the Charter of demands
submitted there-with, if no settlement through bilateral discussions is brought
about.

I
am also to invite your kind attention to the discussion the Empowered Committee
of Secretaries chaired by you with Standing Committee of NC of JCM on 1st
March 2016 where-in while summing up the discussions on the charter of demands
you assured that a fair consideration would be given on all demands raised by
the Staff Side. It was also stated by you that reasonable time should be given
to the Government since the issues concern inter=departmental consultations.

The
NJCA in its meeting held on 7th March 2016 considered the request
made by you. To give space for negotiated settlement on the charter of demands
raised by the Staff Side it has been decided to defer the commencement of the
indefinite strike to 11th July 2016 and to serve the strike notice
on 9th June 2016, if the desired settlement through bilateral
discussions is not brought about.

It is requested that in the
intervening period the Government may hold meaningful negotiation with the
Staff Side, JCM so that a settlement could be reached on the Charter of demands
raised by the staff side, in the interest of industrial harmony.

All Constituents of NJCA

Dear
Comrade,

The NJCA met today and reviewed the
discussion in the meeting of Empowered Committee of Secretaries presided by the
Cabinet Secretary on 1st March 2016 where-in the Cabinet Secretary
had requested for more time to arrive at conclusions on the charter of demands
raised by the Staff Side.

The meeting also considered the
situation in the aftermath of the coming into effect of the Code of Conduct
with the declaration of election schedule in 5 State Assemblies and the fact
that there will be polling on 11th April 2016 in West Bengal and
Assam.

The
meeting, therefore, came to the conclusion that it will not be feasible for us
to stick to the date of strike as 11th April 2016. Considering the
fact that as per section 22 of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 with regard to
the validity of the strike notice which is not more than six weeks from the
date of serving the strike notice, it was also felt that we may have to revisit
the issue of serving the notice for strike afresh.

Considering all the above aspects,
the meeting took the following decisions”

1.The
indefinite strike shall commence from 6 am on 11th July 2016

2.The
strike Notice would be served on 9th June 2016.

3.Massive
demonstrations shall be held in all work place on 11th March 2016 in
support of the charter of demands and strike decision.

4.The
decision of the NJCA would be communicated to the Cabinet Secretary.
